Dreaming and Being Dreamt The Psychoanalytic Function of Dreams In Dreaming and Being Dreamt John Schneider illustrates the central concept of all emotional functioning: that we are most alive in our dreaming and that it is dreaming that brings us to life. Building upon the theoretical foundations of Ogden and Bion the book explicates the way in which it is the unconscious goal of the patient and the task of the analyst to engage in dreaming the patient into existence in a fuller way than the patient has been able to dream. It goes on to develop the idea that all dreams are psychological works in progress containing aspects of emotional experience that are entirely or partially too disturbing to dream on one’s own. Each chapter of this book offers rich clinical exchanges between patient and analyst in analytic sessions. Schneider clearly shows how he dreams the analytic session with patients and the importance of talking-as-dreaming in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. With new insights on theory and rich clinical vignettes this book will be indispensable for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists wanting to engage with the latest thinking on dreamwork. | Dreaming and Being Dreamt The Psychoanalytic Function of Dreams GBP 29.99 1
